BAR A HOME OF PEACE

 

Many a home wrecked, 
Emotions at war, 
Homes in turmoil, 
Legs on his heels, 
Bar a home of peace.

Traditionally he acquires her 
with a smile, 
Religiously he makes her 
his screensaver,
His heart beats for her, 
Then comes the metamorphosis.

She dresses like a masquerade, 
Her bedroom shines like shrine, 
Her breast sags, 
Her armpit grows like shrubs, 
Men moved by what they see.

She sleeps and snows, 
She lies like a lifeless log, 
He desires to acquire her love, 
But she rebukes him.

He longs for a conjugal bliss, 
She strictly gave him the 
religious style,
Stylistically he begs for more, 
But ignorantly she ignores him
His hunger humiliated.

His eyes smile at a young 
maiden, 
His heart dances to the rhythm 
of  her breast, 
Her breast adores for a decade.

Home a market place, 
She rants like bees, 
Hearts hurt in pains
Marriage a conjugal misery
Then divorce set in.
